I've run across problems like that too. Do
you have a fast connection? I stopped having
problems like that  when I started using ftp
to install instead of the cd. You may have to
got into the kernel config when the install
boots & set the parameters for your nic to
get a good download without any irq conflicts.
I just use the floppies to boot. Don't know
what you used to burn the iso either. Could be
it's corrupted. I'm a relative newbie, but have
found that it all depends on what time of day
or night you d/l the iso's. And, this is really
true when later, after installing, you want to
do a cvsup. No telling what you'll get. <g>
Hope this helps.
